Population dilemma
SA2 Regional population data from ABS to June 2019:
A few things:
- Population growth in Cairns slowed further from previous growth rates and has continued to slow now over the most recent years to concerning levels well prior to recent turmoil.
- Does anyone wonder why congestion on the Captain Cook Highway is an issue?
- What does it mean when the “official” Labour Force Survey from ABS indicates a massive boom in employment coincident with declines in population growth?
Just asking?
